Purchase: I got this Fender off of Guitar Crazy's website. I got it for a good price of 82 dollars new. They have a overstock there. If you want a guitar make sure you go there.
Pros: It is very slick and light. You can go anywhere with this guitar. I play it in the top of my 75 foot tree.
Cons: The wind carries it when i am that high on time it dropped and shattered i had to get a new one.
Quality: very Nice and light Summary: It is a very breakable guitar
I am retarded

Purchase: i bought my stratacoustic at music123.com at a very good price of $234.00, i bought the guitar just to have a nice acoustic/electric to have and play!
Pros: The stratacoustic has a very well rounded tone un-plugged, and an even better sound plugged in (if you know how to get a decient mix) it really lived up to my expectations on quality, durability, sound, and definently l@@ks! So far it has been an ecxeptionaly good guitar. i also like the plastic ovation style back, i think it really helps the tone and it just looks cool too. very good guitar! recomended
Cons: the only complaints so far are..... the strings were a little farther from the neck than i had hoped therefore; harder to push down, and after playing for a while with friends or even playing sets or gigs it really takes a toal on your fingers! and also i know it might mess up the smooth look but i wish it came with a pickguard. But on this guitar the goods definently out-weigh the evils!!
Quality: i thought this guitar was very durable, from the moment that i took it out of the packing i could tell that this is a very durable guitar, it could definently take just sitting in my home, playing a gig, or even road abuse. This guitar is an all around good instrument, from the breath taking looks, to the wonderful tone (unplugged and plugged), all the way to the wonderful quality this is a great guitar!! Summary: This is a wonderful guitar, one of my favs. this guitar does it all plays well, looks awesome, and is very very durable! I definently would and have reccomended this guitar to you!

Purchase: Bought this little sweetie online for $250 shipped to my door! ... zzounds.com
Pros: An absolute blast to play. Everyone who walks into the shop goes over, picks it up and starts playing. Decent set up right out of the box. Plugged into my Danelectro eStudio belt amp, I can rock out anywhere, anytime.
One of the most fun guitars I've ever owned.
Cons: Well, you get what you pay for... I replaced the cheapo, plastic saddle and nut with TusQ versions. Also took off the astonshingly bad strings that came with it and put on some phosphor bronze lights... the sound REALLY improved.
Quality: Overbuilt if anything... I carved the two wings of the massive X brace that I could get to through the sound hole. After taking them down to an acceptable arch, the sound greatly improved. Summary: Right out of the box, this is a sweetie... fun to play, very portable, huggable with an OK-to-Decent sound.
Replace the crappy strings, nut and saddle... carve down the braces a bit and you will be delighted... Lots of Bang for the Buck.

Purchase: We were excited to see the ads for the Stratacoustic and Telacoustic. I was looking for a light easy to play acoustic for my Wife and these guitars appeared to be the answer to our dream. I preordered the Stratacoustic from Victor Litz Music before they even had them in stock and waited in anticipation for it's arrival. I believe We paid 325.00 dollars.
Pros: The guitar finally arrived it was light, compact and attractive. It looked just like the pictures.
Cons: unfortunately that is where Our expectations came to an abrupt hault. The molded body was not smooth and "Ovation-like" it had sharp bumps that may have been to keep it from sliding around but scracthed your bare arms. But what about the Tone?
I know I am spoiled by my Martin D1R but their really was no tone or warmth and plugged it this was only louder and made the lack of wood more apparent.
Quality: The "electric" style neck that promised easy action had more in common with a long bow than a guitar. They must have been Squier rejects. Examination of the interior of the body revealed glue had been slopped everywhere. There was even some on the outside of the guitar We had to clean off.
We ran to the local music store and traded it in on a used Acoustic Electric Guild that is everything the Stratacoustic is not. Summary: Unless the manufacturing of the Stratacoustic has undergone a major revision
I cannot think of a guitar worse than this one. Avoid it at all cost. My old cheapy Korean Fender flatop blows it away in every aspect and in fact so does my wifes old Global. I am a fan of Fender and Guild products but the Stratacoustic drags the Fender name through the mud.
